Wahoo! I’ll write more later, but I need to go spend time with the long ignored family now.

Stuff I’m writing.
One Pass Revision: Day 11 (453/563)
453/563
My most-of-the-day-writing days ended yesterday (and even then I didn’t get nearly the time in I wanted). I did get a few hours today though. This latter section is slow going. I’m pretty sure I wrote most of it late at night, and it shows. Still, progress is progress.
One Pass Revision: Day 10, Part 2 (423/563)
Had a bit of time and knocked out 10 more pages.
One Pass Revision: Day 10 (413/563)
Hope to get back to this later today. Gotta run!
One Pass Revision: Day 9 (384/563)
384/563
Not quite as far as I had hoped for the day, but I have some other stuff to do. Not sure if I’ll get back to this today or not.
One Pass Revision: Day 8, Part 2 (326/563)
326/563
I just finished chapter 14, putting me well beyond the parts I revised previously. I made some notes for a new chapter, but I’m not sure I need it yet. I hope can get as much done tomorrow.
One Pass Revision: Day 8 (284/586)
Pretty productive morning. I’ve now passed the point where my first attempt at revisions stopped. This means that everything from here on needs even more polish, but it should be the better written half of the book to begin with. I need to take a break, but I’m well on my way to getting to page 300 today.
One Pass Revision: Day 7, Part 2 (189/563)
Not quite where I had hoped to be by now, but not too bad. The current section is in pretty good shape, so hopefully I’ll pick up some speed tomorrow.
Mentioned on ‘I Should Be Writing’
I thought I had posted this at the time, but apparently I didn’t.
My One Pass Revision effort was mentioned on Mur Lafferty’s I Should Be Writing (show #41, June 17, 2006). Thanks to Mur for keeping me honest in front of a larger audience.
If you haven’t heard it before, you really ought to check it out.
One Pass Revision: Day 7 (144/563)
Took a while to get started this morning, but once I got going things went well. I think I’m going to have some scene re-ordering to do, but I’m going to ignore that (mostly) until after the type in. I’m probably breaking the One Pass process a bit with that, but it’s what I feel I need to do.
The plan is to eat lunch, help bathe the kids, and then get back to this. We’ll see!
